Mom and Dad were a bit nervous about the pool and Nick. So Mom found a great solution that doesn't make the backyard look closed in but offers all the security of a fence. Enter the Katchakid net. The idea is the kid would get caught in the net (and thus be unhappy about it) and be unable to get to the water and drown. The netting is small enough that the kid cannot get their head through. No child drownings have happened on any house equipped with the net so the track record is good.

This is what it looks like. The net is installed but not completed yet, need to do some final details that the guy didn't have the tools for.

A closer view of the netting itself and the center tensioner. I am pretty happy with the results. Note the box inside the netting, that is the alarm for disturbance in the net which signals a monitor inside the house.
